Making the power connections
1. Insert the plug (label facing up) of the DC power cord
into the DC Power connector.
2. Insert the small plug of the AC power cord into the
power pack.
3. Plug the other end of the AC power cord into a live
AC (mains) outlet.
Checking the room code
The RoomMate
®
speaker and the remote control used with
it must have the same room code. Your RoomMate
®
speaker
is shipped from the factory set up to operate using room
code I. See the owner’s guide that came with the remote
for instructions on changing the room code.
If room code I is already used by another Bose
®
link product
in your home, you will need to set the speaker to a different
room code.
To change the room code in the RoomMate speaker:
1. Find the room code switches on the rear panel.
2. Using a fine-point pen or other small tool, set switches
1 through 4 to the corresponding up and down positions
shown for that room code in the following table.

Checking the house code
In order to operate your main room system using a second
room remote, the remote and your main room system must
have the same house code.
To check the house code setting and learn how to change it,
see the owners guide for your main system and the remote
that you are planning to use in the other room.
A LIFESTYLE
®
system radio frequency (RF) remote has a long
range and the ability to penetrate walls. Therefore, the signals
from a remote in one home can possibly reach and affect the
operation of a LIFESTYLE
®
system in another. Changing the
house code for the system and all the remotes used with it
avoids possible conflict.

Connecting an audio device
You can use your RoomMate
®
speaker to listen to an external
audio device such as a TV, or a portable CD or MP3 player.
Just plug the output cable from your device into the AUX IN
connector on the rear panel of your speaker. The cable must
be equipped with a male 3.5 mm (
1
/8") stereo plug.
Note: Your Bose
®
second room remote control will not operate any
audio device connected to the AUX IN connector.
Listening to a connected audio device
The device that is connected to AUX IN is identified by your
LIFESTYLE system as a Local source.
Using a PERSONAL
®
music center II:
1. Turn on your connected device.
2. Press the Source button.
3. Select
Local and press [OK].
4. To operate your connected device, use the controls on the
device or the remote control that came with it.
Using a RC-35S2 remote control:
1. Turn on your connected device and start playing a track.
2. Press the OTHER button to select the Local Source. Keep
pressing the OTHER button until you hear your device.
Using AUX IN with no Bose
®
link connection
When your RoomMate
®
speaker is disconnected from your
Bose link network, the AUX IN input is automatically selected.
This means that you can listen to a connected audio device
without using your main room system. Use the volume control
on your external device to set the volume level of the speaker.
You can still use the mute switch on the front of the speaker
to mute the audio at any time.
